Every time we teach someone how to use cryptographic keys, we are teaching them the tools of liberation. πŸ—οΈπŸ”₯ Nostr is the perfect excuse.

Had a crazy realisation. Ebay only has 50m users, and amazon 300m, because its restricted by bank accounts. Really it should have 3bn users like facebook. Nos_tr-market is the most powerful "bankless" digital market, so can only win. 6bn people have smartphones, 6bn! image

Sex work is a killer use case for bitcoin and nostr that we don't actively develop enough free and open-source software/hardware for. If anyone is interested in joining our "bitcoin for sex workers" research/development group connecting devs/contributors/users, please DM me. image

The new n o s t r marketplace by Motorina0 and Talvasconcelos is glorious Try censoring a completely clientside market that populates based on merchant public keys! (If you're interested in being a merchant check out the LNbits extension πŸ’ͺ) tinyurl.com/nostrmarket image

Only a paradigm which gives users full control of what they are exposed to, will work for new UK social media bill, which is exactly what nostr does. Funny how the pursuit of censorship resistance creates the safest enviromemt for users. image

Man I HATE telegram topics in groups. Just because the functionality exists doesn't mean you need to use it. Tg is much better as a flowing conversation/stream of consciousness. image
